    Notice is hereby given that True Temper Sports, Inc. (``True 
Temper''), successor in interest to defendant True Temper Corporation, 
has filed a motion to terminate the Final Judgment entered in United 
States v. True Temper Corporation, Civil No. 58-C-I 158, 1959 Trade 
Cas. (CCI-1) & 69,441 (ND. Ill. 1959), on August 20, 1959 (``1959 Final 
Judgment'') and the Final Judgment entered in United States v. True 
Temper Corporation, et al., Civil No. 5 8-C 1159, 1961 Trade Cas. (CCH) 
& 70,090 (N.D. Ill. 1961), on August 1, 1961 (``1961 Final Judgment''). 
Notice is also hereby given that the Antitrust Division of the United 
States Department of Justice (``the Department''), in a stipulation 
also

[[Page 27557]]

filed with the Court, tentatively has consented to termination of the 
1959 Final Judgment and the 1961 Final Judgment, but has reserved the 
right to withdraw its consent pending receipt of public comments.
    On June 30, 1958 the United States filed a complaint against sole 
defendant True Temper alleging that True Temper and several co-
conspirators conspired to restrain and monopolize the manufacture and 
sale of steel golf club shafts. Prior to trial True Temper settled the 
charges by accepting entry of the 1959 Final Judgment on August 20, 
1959.
    Also on June 30, 1958 the United States filed a complaint against 
True Temper and four golf club manufacturers alleging that they 
conspired to restrain and monopolize markets for golfclubs and steel 
shafts. Prior to trial the defendants settled the charges by accepting 
entry of the 1961 Final Judgment on August 1, 1961.
    The Department has filed with the Court a memorandum setting forth 
the reasons why the United States believes that the termination of the 
1959 Final Judgment and the 1961 Final Judgment would serve the public 
interest. Copies of the motion to terminate, the stipulation containing 
the United States' tentative consent, the United States' memorandum, 
and all further papers filed with the Court in connection with the 
motion to terminate will be available for inspection at the Antitrust 
Documents Group, Antitrust Division, Suite 1010, 450 Fifth Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20530, on the Web site at http://www.usdoj.gov/atr, and 
at the Office of the Clerk of the United States District Court for the 
Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. Copies of these 
materials may be obtained from the Antitrust Division upon request and 
payment of the copying fee set by Department of Justice regulations.
    Interested persons may submit comments regarding the proposed 
termination of the 1959 Final Judgment and the 1961 Final Judgment to 
the United States. Such comments must be received by the Antitrust 
Division within sixty (60) days and will be filed with the Court by the 
United States. Comments should be addressed to Marvin N. Price, Chief, 
Chicago Field Office, Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice, 
209 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois, 312/353-7530.
